buy them in at almost nothing. The latter ap-
pears to be a scheme to openly defraud the
bondholders.
Here's history and financial logic for
youl Whoever heard of a Funding Act
of 1876? The idea that the repeal of the
Act of 1872 would so depreciate the bonds
as to make them valueless and amount to
a fraud upon the bondholders is provoca-
tive of hilarious mirthfulness for its wild
absurdity. We prefer to charitably be-
ieve that some emissary of Daniel Meyer
has got to the ear of the Bulletin CORE
spondent, and pumped him full of private
advices, than to entertain the belief that
the San Francisco journal has permitted
itself to be used knowingly against the
best interests of this city. To point out
the fallacy of the Bulletins statement, it
is needed only to again refer to the figures
We gave yesterday. 1t was then shown
that the abolition of the Funded Commits
sion would appreciate the value of the bonds
and be worth cool 100000 to the bond
holders. For instance, the Funded Debt
Commission now holds nearly half
million, or quite one-third of the bonds
outstanding, and upon detached coupons
amounting to over 100000 it draws in
terest for the city from the sinking fund.
Now any man can see, whose
mental vision is at all clear, that
the abolition of the Commission would, by
repeal of the Act of 1872, cancel the
bonds held by the Board, and that every
dollar now drawn back in behalf of the
city would go to the bondholders. VIII
the Bulletin stake its reputation for fnan-
cial ability on the proposition that aug
mentasion of fund to pay interest on a
security depreciates the value of the Sc
curity? We think not. Again, assuming
that the Act is repealed, with $4,000 in
the sinking fund next year to apply to
interest payments-S55,0oO of which,
under the Commission, would go to pay
interest calls by the coupons held by it
the whole 5000 would go to pay interest
upon 81 100000 CT bonds held by outside
parties, whereas it is now used to pay
interest upon $1,500,000 of Indebtedness.
Would such consummation tend to de-
preciate the market value of the outside
bonds? Clearly not on the contrary, it
would send them up to par and the more
distant ones to a premium, since the in
terest is full and unctious, and the bonds
to fall due at distant dates would thus in
sure the investment in long fat re-
turns. The tondholders are only seemingly
opposing the repeal of the Act creating the
Commission. In point OF fact they are
laboring for its repeal, but to do so openly
would be the worst policy for them mag
Unable We must assume, therefore, that
the Bulletins representative has been be-
guiled and innocently mislead. Let the
Bulletin understand that Sacramento does
not desire to be party to any dishonesty,
or to have any part in defrauding its
creditors but its does maintain the wis
dom of policy that permits it to enter the
market and buy up its outstanding undue
securities on level with other purchasers,
and not one of the evidences of which in
debtedness ever cost the bondholders any
thing like face value, nor the half of it.

A PEANUT POLICY.

Nicknames have attached to parties
measures and men, that have proved more
disastrous to them than argumentatiye
opposition, policies or doctrines. Let the
Democracy look to it that it does not in
vite and deserve the appellation, "The
Peanut Party" That party now coolly
proposes, by its leaders, to strike down the
raisin, prune and table-nut and fig indus
tries of California, and opening the free
list so wide-according to one plan, under
the specious plea of equalization-that
raisin, currant, prune and nut and fig pro-
ducers in California would find their occu-
patton gone-sold out, indeed, to the Medi-
tcrranean producers, foot and hand But
over to foreign growers, Virginia is to be
protected in her peanut business. The
inaptly applies to the Democracy. The
proposed policy of the leaders of the
Democracy could not be more effectively
framed to make California Republican
almost unanimously. Let us see what, in
the very beginning, has been the effect of
home production upon foreign imports.
In 1886, for the three months ending June
30th, the following showing of declination
of imports is made by the latest official
returns, and is due wholly to the
entry of California products into
competition with the foreign

EL DORADO COUNTY.
A Boom In Orchard and Vineyard Land
The Pronosea RAILROAD Extension

A Boom in Orchard and Vineyard Lands
The Proposed Railroad Extension.
A correspondent, writing from Placer
vile, says that FL Dorado county never
had SO fiattering and prosperous an outlook
as at present The orchardists and vine
the former planting Bartlett pears and
French prunes the latter the choicest varie-
ties of wine, table and raisin grapes. Land
throughout the county has appreciated in
value from so to 100 per cent, and in some
more favored localities is valued at five
times what it was two years ago. At this
time almond trees are in full bloom, and
the orange crop at its best. The farmer
here has learned in the past few years that
the orange can be grown as successfully in
our foot hills as can the apple. The only
requisite is to get the groves located, not
on the lowest ground, nor yet on the hill
tops, but between the extreme, and shell
tered from the north winds, which, by the
way, are not prevalent in this section. A
man who has twenty acres of bearing Bart
lett pears in this county is assured of an
income of 5000 per annum. Any man
with small amount of capital can secure
that in three years from planting.
What most interests our Placerville pee
pie and which would make III Dorado take
first rank among the horticultural coun
ties of the State, is better railroad facilities.
The road now terminates at Single
Springs and so far as our fruit shipments
are concerned, might as well stop at Fol-
som. We are still in hopes that the rail
road people will recognize the undeveloped
wealth of our soil, the immensely OF our
timber belt, the value and extent of our
quarries. the richness of our quartz and
seam mines, and extend the road twelve
miles beyond its terminus, which will
bring it to Placerville, the county seat
This will open up market for much ma
terial now too remote from the railroad to
handle with profit, will encourage the
fruit-grower, and cause our bills and valleys
to be planted to orchards and vineyards. AS
a business proposition the railroad people
should do it. AS business proposition
the people of this section should make il
an object for the railroad to do it. The
railroad company has made two surveys
from Shingle Springs to Placerville, and
the cost of construction will be slight in
either case. The road will likely come into
the town through the deep cut made
through Coon Hollow Hill by the working
of a gravel mine. We expect to see the
locomotive run into depot in this town
within the next twelve months, and when
that day comes we will have boom N

a BILL is pending before the Senate re-
curing the plaintiff in an action for libel
or SANDER or for malpractice in surgery or
medicine, to give, as a prerequisite to be-
ing heard, bond $500 with sureties, for
the payment of costs and charges. 1t is
well enough to protect people against
mere Matchmaking suits, but let it be
asked how far the law should go in closing
its doors to the humbIest citizen in the
land The poor man unable to respond to
a money Judgment would be practically
shut out of Court. however meritorious his
case. since it is known to all that it is be-
coming daily more and more difficult to
secure bondsmen for any purpose, and
scores of citizens enter into obligations
with each other not to sign any security
bond or paper Now the man without
means or friends willing pledge themselves
to the payment of money for him ought
not to be shut ont from prosecuting an
action for injury done his character or his
person. If the bill cannot be so amended
as to avoid the closing of the doors of the
Courts upon the poor, it ought to be
abandoned

FOREST DEsrRoYERs OF AUs7RALIA.-The
crop-destroying rabbit appears 10 be not
the only animal plague of Australia. The
decay OF the forests is traced by Rev. P.
Macpherson, of the Royal Society of New
South Wales, 10 the opoesums. After much
investigation it was ascertained that a
single animal would devour about 200
leaves of the eucalyptus, or blue gum tree,
in single night, proving that the $4,000
opossums killed annually in one county of
Victoria were sufficient to destroy upwards
of 1900 trees, and lay bare a space OF 700
acses, or more than square 9ise.

THE New York Commercial, exasperated
by the damage done to public business by
the coal-handlers and supplemental
strikes, asks if the country is hereafter
to be ruled as heretofore "by the will of
a free people, or become subject to the
arbitrary control of secret societies of men
banded together to promote their own in
terest?" 1t is not difficult to answer the
question. The country will depart from
the rule of the will of the people just in
proportion as the people neglect the politi-
cal duties in the selection of lawmakers
and officers. The present drift is to put
men into power who knuckle to influences
not recognizable under the laws, and who
care more to curry favor with classes than
promote vigorous Americanisms and up
hold the institutions of the republic.
We shall be ruled by private and ire
sponsible organizations just as long as we
continue to select officials who lack the
moral courage 10 do their duty.

These fruits and nuts row pay an ad
valorem rate of duty of from 19.49 to
1924 As we pointed out in our issue of
Thursday, in 1884 Spain sent to us 56,677,-
657 pounds Of raisins. In 1885 the export
fell off nearly 100000, and in 1886 de-
cIined to 3S,OOO,0Oo pounds. 1t is a matter
the dullest intellect can understand, that
with the present success attained in raisin
and prrne-curing and nut-growing in Cali
fornia, the time is very near at hand when
we will be able to supply the home market
to the exclusion of the foreign product,
and that, too, with as good, and most often
a better article. The Democracy proposes,
however, to see to it, by its peanut policy,
that this consummation shall not be at

The health authorities in San Francisco
are alarmed at the prevalence and increase
of diphtheria in that city, and the propri-
ETY. of closing the public schools is being
seriously considered Not that the school
buildings are in an unsanitary condition,
but because the intermingling of children
tends to the spread of the pest. The au-
thorities there-and everywhere, for that
matter-should not only prohibit attend
ance at school by children from families
diphtheria has recently afflicted but
they should do as has been done in Phila-
delphia, rigidly prohibit public funerals of
victims of diphtheria. The spread of the
disease is aided by attendance at such
funerals. Interments OF victims of the
pestilence should be attended by the few
est possible number. Moreover the local
health regulations should require those
suffering from the disease to be isolated
so far as that is possible-and no per-
sons permitted to come into the room
where they are ill except those needed to
nurse them. A few such regulations rig
idly enforced as is done when smallpox
is epidemic are absolutely necessary. In
Philadelphia the enforcement of such Or
dinances has proven highly beneficial, and a
positive check to the spread of the disease.
